The IMMERSION PROGRAM

BUILD YOUR PRESENCE IN ﻿THE MOST ADVANCED LIFE SCIENCES AND CLEANTECH INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM

The Program

Richi Entrepreneurs is an immersion program in Boston for companies from around the world with high impact solutions in Biotech, Medtech, Digital Health and Cleantech sectors.

Companies connect and initiate meaningful relationships with Boston’s key innovation players - investors, market players, advisors, industry experts, and private & public institutions. Participants take full advantage of this unique innovation ecosystem and define their strategies to become attractive to the US market, bringing their businesses to the next level.

Companies understand how the US ecosystem works in their specific sector, and acquire key skills to successfully pitch and interact with stakeholders. Participating companies will be assigned a lead mentor and an intern who will work with them to prepare phase II.

Companies go back to their countries of origin, and during 5 weeks, they work on a few assignments and receive mentoring remotely.

Participants travel back to Boston where they meet through one-on-one meetings investors, key opinion leaders, potential partners, and other key stakeholders to explore collaborations and define their action plan to thrive in the US.
